Popcorn Fundraiser Kick-off (Sept 1)

Selling popcorn isn't just about raising money—it's about building skills that last a lifetime. Through Pack 136's annual popcorn fundraiser, Scouts learn how to set goals, speak confidently with others, handle money responsibly, and persevere through challenges. Every dollar earned supports our Pack's adventures throughout the year, and every sale helps Scouts grow into capable, confident leaders.

Popcorn Kickoff

Date: Tuesday, September 1

Time: 6:30–7:30 PM

Location: Lipscomb Elementary School Cafeteria

At our kickoff meeting you'll receive everything you need to have a successful popcorn season, including:

• Parent guide

• Scout sales materials

• Information about the Trails End app

• Prize and incentive details

• Storefront sign-up information

• Tips for reaching your Scout's sales goal

Whether you're a returning family or selling popcorn for the first time, we'll walk you through the process and answer all your questions.

How to Sell Popcorn

There are several easy ways for Scouts to participate:

1. Online Sales

Share your Scout's personalized Trails End fundraising page with family and friends. Adding a personal message or short video is a great way to increase sales.

2. Wagon Sales

Scouts can sell directly to neighbors, family, and friends around their community. This is a great opportunity to practice communication skills while working toward individual sales goals.

3. Storefront Sales

One of the fastest ways to reach your goal! Scouts can sign up for storefront shifts with another Scout at local businesses throughout the community. Storefront schedules and sign-ups will be shared after the kickoff meeting.

Scout Responsibilities

To help make every sale a success, Scouts should remember to:

• Wear their Class A Uniform

• Smile and be friendly to every customer

• Collect payment at the time of the sale (when applicable)

• Always say "Thank you!"

• Have fun! A positive attitude goes a long way.

Getting Started with the Trails End App

The Trails End app makes selling popcorn simple.

At the kickoff meeting we'll cover:

• Downloading the Trails End app

• Creating your parent account

• Registering your Scout

• Accessing your online sales page

• Signing up for storefront shifts

• Tracking your Scout's progress throughout the fundraiser

Our popcorn team will be available to help anyone who needs assistance getting set up.
